Got the Guest Book

Thanks to a timely coupon from Shutterfly, we made our Guest Book as a photo book, using one of the templates available on the site.

I won't say it was child's play, but it seemed pretty straightforward.  (Especially with Sweetie doing most of the work.)  We peppered the book with Selfies; seemed pretty cheesy, but fun.

I have seen good Shutterfly coupons from Groupon, from Coke Rewards, from the bridal shows we have attended, and from being on their email list from previous purchases.

More Program-ish Ideas

I already mentioned the Wolfpack Program. (I sent this idea to my graphic design-y friend, and she is doing the artwork for me)  But I keep thinking of ways to entertain, surprise, delight, and inform our guests.  (Our wedding theme is "Loving, living and learning" and is represented with books and lots of text.)

One example of our text-y deliciousness

Mad Libs.  I really like this idea, since it goes so well with our book/wordy theme.  Found downloads for 6 different templates at Something Turquoise here and here.

I want to use something similar to the Mad Libs, but just like the I Spy cards I already bought from Green-Eyed Girl Productions, they are too traditionally gendered for a same-sex couple such as Sweetie and I.  Sigh.  Well... it just gives me more impetus to personalize.

Program Ideas

Yes, I probably would have known so much more about this if I went on Pinterest.  But it's a bad, bad place for a person with ADD such as myself.  Even more of a Pandora's box than the Interwebs themselves (which are already pretty bad)

Wolfpack Program (go ahead, look it up if you must; if you already know what it is, you are probably rolling your eyes at this point and saying "Geez!" at my clear lack of wedding culture knowledge)

Maybe I can get my seriously-talented almost-a-professional-graphic-artist friend to work on this one.
